• Wet Wellington

    July 5 in New Zealand ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C

    It had rained 🌧 lightly over night in Foxton so everything was a little damp outside. The forecast for the next week is not looking bright so I figured it a good idea to get our dumping and water up to date. We did this before leaving and then headed to Levin.
    Obviously we had to pass through here heading south but our number one purpose was to get our LPG bottle filled. Mobil in Levin advertise they did bottle fills. After taking the bottle out and setting it up ready for a fill, I was then told they don't do it on the weekend...Grrr 😳. That was annoying to say the least. We headed then further south to Otaki and tried our luck there. Mobil there did offer the advertised service.
    Shortly after leaving Otaki the rain started and stayed with us through to our destination of Mana. This is a lovely spot that we have been to many times in the past.
    With nothing to do in the afternoon we relaxed and watched part of a TV series until some good friends of ours, Tony and Shelley arrived. They knew we were here, and are in the process of travelling north so we spent a great time together chatting and enjoying a coffee ☕️ together. It's great to meet up with friends on the road.
    No pics today so I thought to just include a sneaky one of our youngest granddaughter, Avalon.
